You keep alluding to domestic issues. Were the police called? Did she press charges? If she did nothing then it would simply be a claim in her paperwork and judges hear this all the time. You need to focus on facts that are proven.

Rockscan, I dont think she could press charges, I think thats up to the Crown to do that. Even if charges were filed, he would need a conviction. I still think, even if there was a conviction it wouldn't matter in a financial settlement. I know we are jumping to conclusions here.

Rockscan:
Yes, the police were called. I was charged and and found guilty of assault and received probation. This does paint a bad picture of me; however, I was just trying to restrain her from hitting me with different objects she found arond the house. At no time did I hit her.

Karma:
Couldn't sale values of homes in the area along with an MPAC appraisal indicate what the selling price was at the date of separation? I did get a valuation completed but it was a couple years after the split. Could that be used?

So to update you with what has been going on. We went to mediation but it was as I suspected. Just a lot of back and forth with no real attempts on her behalf to come to a reasonable resolution. Even if we went with current day values the share she is asking for is crazy. The house is valued at 600,000 and she is asking for 300,000 which is impossible since there is still almost 300,00 mortgate... There is just no talking to her. I think she has too many people in her ear telling her what she is entitled to but not taking into considration the amount of the mortgage left that she is also responsible for.

So I realize i have to prepare for a court battle. What is my first step in filing with the courts? Form 8? What can i expect to take place after I file the the form? As I understand it there is pretty much a mediation of sorts that takes place prior to attending court. And if I read everything correctly I will also need to file a 13.1 at some point?

Thanks for all your help as I will be doing this alone since I don't have the money to pay a lawyer and I make too much to seek out legal asssitance...

Any advice/insight/words of encouragement you can provide would be most helpful...

Ok. So I've read a couple recommended posts and saw one that states if it's after 6 years (which I'm pretty close to being) then property division is relegated to civil court. Would that be true? And if so how do I proceed?
